    St John’s tour

    Ernie_K, Sep 2025
    Wonderful day with our driver/ tour guide Keith. His enthusiasm and obvious pride in his home town made this a memorable experience. Keith showed us many areas and sites not listed in the tour description, but very interesting. Thank you Keith for making our day in St. John’s a day we won’t forget.

    Great Trip to Newfoundland

    Robert_W, Sep 2025
    Personal experience in local's vehicle and saw many highlights such as lighthouse, Cabot point, Jelly bean row, and Basilica. Friendly host who readily keep us entertained.

    St John's Views

    Great way to see the highlights of St John' s. Our guide Leoniot ( I he I got the spelling correct) do a wonderful job and was very knowledgeable about the area.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thanks for your kind words! We’ll be sure to pass along the compliments to your guide!) We hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊

    Quidi vidi tour

    Elaine_C, Jul 2025
    Guide was friendly and outgoing. He came in a Nisan so 3 of us were squashed in the backseat. Felt we would have learned more if we drove to these places ourselves. Saw church and the rooms didn't stop. Quidi

    St John's is beautiful.

    Thomas_C, Jul 2025
    This was a great tour. The vehicle was comfortable for six people. The tour guide, Leo, was great. The scenery was spectacular. The tour was three and a half hours, and went by very quickly.

    St. John's, Quidi Vidi & Signal Hill Small Group Tour

    BobParkinson, Jul 2025
    Our St. John's, Quidi Vidi & Signal Hill Small Group Tour with Leo was fantastic from beginning to end! Leo is not only very knowledgeable, but also funny and clearly passionate about Newfoundland’s history and culture. He shared stories, local insights, and fun facts that made every stop more meaningful, from the stunning views atop Signal Hill to the charm of Quidi Vidi Village. The pace was perfect and his tour gave us a real appreciation for the area and was one of the highlights of our trip to St. John’s. We’d highly recommend this tour—and Leo—to anyone visiting!

    Great tour!

    Cara_M, Jul 2025
    We really enjoyed our tour guide. He has only been here 3 years but he seemed to know everyone wherever we stopped and ballots of good information about the different landmarks.

    St John’s

    virginia_d, Jul 2025
    The tour guide was attentive and took us to the three locations as expected. He is a local and was able to answer questions and add in some local tidbits. Our guide suggested an excellent lunch spot and ensured we knew how to get back to the ship. The tour company directed us to meet the tour guide .7 of a mile away from the ship. This was up a hill which caused a delay in starting the tour as many passengers were unable to walk that far. In the future the tour company should set the meet up location at Alt Hotel just steps from the ship.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear your guide was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped make the day smooth — including a great local lunch recommendation and clear directions back to the ship. We truly appreciate your feedback about the meeting point and understand how the walk may have impacted the start of your tour. We'll be reviewing this with our team to see how we can improve the experience for future guests. Thanks again for sharing your insights, and we hope to welcome you again!

    We will be back.

    Keith was amazing! The weather wasn’t great but we got to see and learn so much that we have to come back to St John’s to visit the places he recommended! Keith knows his stuff. He is very fun friendly and knowledgeable! We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

    Go with Keith, great guy.

    Henry_B, Oct 2024
    Had a couple beers at Quidi Vidi at the end, awesome. Laid the foundation for a future visit. Harbor view nice!

    An enjoyable tour around the city and surrounding areas

    Randy_K, Oct 2024
    This tour is a very good way to see some of the remarkable history of St. John's. From Signal Hill to Cape Spear to Quidi Vidi and other areas around the city.

    Great afternoon tour

    Derek_G, Sep 2024
    Great guide, small car for 4, pick up location selection was confusing for our us and the other party on the tour but it worked out. Cape Spear was fantastic could have spent more time here. Signal Hill is great with interesting Marconi history. Quidi Vidi Village was just a short stop look see so it might be nice to do something there.

    Taxi ride

    Jonathan_H, Sep 2024
    I would like to driver but he was basically just a taxi driver he didn't give us any information just took us around

    Small group tour

    Cheryl_M, Aug 2024
    Terry Fox statue and Cape Spear were my favourites. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and full of personality. There were only 4 of us on the tour which was nice. Not much to see in Quidi Vidi. Signal Hill was interesting.

    A No-Show by tour opersto

    Christine_P, Aug 2024
    We were at the designated meeting place 15 min early and stayed 30 min. The trip leader Tripshepard never showed. Viator should ditch this operator. It ruined the last port for us

    Tour Guide Was Awesome

    Barb_C, Jun 2024
    Our guide Keith was absolutely amazing and we feel like when we leave Newfoundland we will be leaving a new friend behind

    They went above and...

    Ron_H, Aug 2023
    They went above and beyond to accommodate even with construction in the way! Lots of history provided

    Bad location

    pam_b, Aug 2023
    Poor meeting instructions, took us to a residential area to an attorney house! 90 Halley! After numerous attempts to contact the company finally was told our driver was sick and we could try and go later or tomorrow which was impossible because we were on a cruise ship!! The reason I gave them 2 stars was the rapid refund very apologetic

    Good tour; pick-up should be at hotel

    PETER_M, Aug 2023
    Great narration by tour guide Pick- up should be at hotel!! Include as many sights as possible; Price for tour is as high as could be asked

    Very disappointing

    Mike_C, Jul 2023
    Driver never showed up, called and they told me too bad, figure it out on your own. We booked a Different group

    Unreliable

    Karen_J, Jul 2023
    I booked two tours with you. The first tour was a whale watching tour, and they were screeching in. In order to be screech in. I had to have pre-paid. I was never given that option. The city tour never happened because the driver of the tour quit so they cancelled it, but they never informed me, I waited 45 minutes for them, I called and that’s how I found out it had been canceled. I at least got my refund. I don’t think I will book tours online.

    The location we had to meet was extremely difficult to access.

    Robert_K, Jul 2023
    The tour director needed a microphone and the mini-van was extremely uncomfortable. The parking structure we had to meet at had a narrow entrance and we almost sideswiped our vehicle.

    Very good in St. John

    Jacques_L, Sep 2025
    Very nice sights to see in excellent company of our guide in a comfortable vehicle. Certainly recommended for tourists
